Three is company

This is a portrait of my three reliable house keepers. The common rationality allows me I can define this painting as a still life composition, since nobody can tell having seen them moving (neither me), they act as pretty normal puppets standing on my shelf. But I'm quite sure they don't waste occasion to run here and there in my house when I'm asleep or when I'm not at home, playing together, eating biscuits or annoying the cat. They are a good and funny presence and I'm usually amused by their jokes, except when I'm terribly late and I can't find my car keys. Irene
